drama,action suspense.this movie has it all

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2007)

i enjoyed this movie quite a bit.the 1st half or so is very dramatic,while the 2nd half is action packed and suspenseful.there are a lot chase scenes and things blowing up.the action is frenetic.i also liked the subject matter dealing with clones and the whole ethical/moral ramifications aspect.i thought it was very thought provoking.plus,it was fun.movies like this don't win too many awards,but that is not the intent.and,yes,there may be elements of implausibility,but if you go to the movies to escape the doldrums and routine of ordinary life,then whether something is realistic or not,is not likely a huge concern for you.i know for me,it's not.of course there are always exception.sometimes believability is thrown completely out the window over and over and over,to the point where almost nothing about the movie has any degree of realism.that bothers me.as for "The Island" i think it contained enough realism for this kind of movie.i liked it,and though i wouldn't say it's a masterpiece,i'd give it a strong 8/10
